About Sue Barford

With a nursing background spanning 32 years,my practice is built on the basis of personalised, professional and prompt care.

I first became interested in breastfeeding through the Nursing Mothers Association, now Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA), just before the birth of my now grown-up sons. I soon realised that breastfeeding was a skill learned by both mother and baby, and went on to become a breastfeeding counsellor and then lactation consultant.

Twenty four years later, I'm still helping mothers and babies. “My passion and privilege is helping mums achieve their breastfeeding goals by providing quality information, assessment and support.”

In recent years I became aware of the power of Bowen therapy, a gentle, holistic health treatment, which can improve health and maintain wellbeing for everyone from newborn to elderly.

My lactation consultancy expanded to offer Bowen therapy, which I believe has a perfect synergy. Because of the growing demand and popularity of Bowen Therapy as a complement to traditional medical care, much of my time is now devoted to providing Bowen treatments to people of all ages and stages.

“Being able to use my skills and passion as a Bowen therapist and lactation consultant to improve the lives of people and their familles is an honour and privilege I enjoy and take seriously ”
